It’s Hardly A Surprise: We’ve Seen Where The Money Goes…

A large-scale analysis of social attitudes over three decades also found fewer adults wanted the Government to redistribute income and many believed inequality was down to “individual laziness on the one hand and hard work on the other” .

The disclosure, in the annual British Social Attitudes report, is being seen as evidence that public opinion is “far closer” to many of Lady Thatcher’s core beliefs than it was when she left office in 1990.

No doubt the wailing and gnashing of teeth at the 'Guardian' will be illuminating.

After 13 years of a Labour government, the study found more people were against disproportionately taxing the better off.

"Ickle disabled Jody – initially, ‘nasty rough policemen tip a helpless raspberry out of his wheelchair for fun!’ Later, a look at his background and his blog shows a nasty, manipulative little hardcore protester who WALKED up nineteen floors of the Milbank Tower.

I had to read the original report in full for research purposes. My conclusion was 'mostly worthless'. No real signs of support in it for the Iron Lady. The general trend is towards more liberal views. I note there was an absence of sensible questions like 'would you pay more taxes to establish public works programmes to replace benefits'. I suspect the Torygraph only looked at a small section of the abstract. This at least saved that fine organ from the expense of buying the worthless, rather Grauniad supporting dross!
